Welcome to Litsy!

This is the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In the book, a retrospective fashion show of the designs of Wolf Savage (#awolfatthedoor), who has been murdered, takes place here, and the investigation is in full swing! And a wolf head button is a clue! Although I was looking forward to a NYC fashion mystery, this was disappointing. Maybe just too much explaining of things I already know! 🤔 #octoberxfiles

Just returned my audio book, and it‘s time to choose a new one! This is the only time I go in without a plan. Picked this one, and happy to report that I discovered it has been on my Goodreads TBR since 2016!

#SeptemBowie #day17 #Fashion This is Bk18 in the Alexandra Coooer series by former sex crimes prosecutor, Linda Fairstein. This outing is set in the high stakes design world of New Yorks Fashion Week. When designer Wolf Savage is found dead of what appears to be suicide days before his runway show, Alex is called in by his daughter who insists it's murder. When the investigation turns up missing money & family secrets, fashion turns deadly.

My first read by this author. I enjoyed the mystery part of course, but I really liked how well she explained the fashion industry. Very detailed and informative but wasn't boring or hard to follow -- the perfect balance for me. I will most likely read another in the series just not sure where to head next! I have to admit that I really didn't like the tough treatment mike seemed to be giving Alex. Hoping that changes or is better explained.

#Characters2017 #day30 #ScruffyHeadedNerfHerder I couldn't decide between Tempe's Detective Andrew Ryan & Alex's DI Mike Chapman for this prompt so both are my pick.Both are stubborn,relentless & annoying,but they're also brave,loyal & kind.Mike in particular will joke his way through any situation but they won't hesitate to throw themselves in front of a bullet for pretty much anyone.I've always pictured them both as a Han Solo type in my head.

18th book in the series and I'm afraid it shows. The plot was ok about the fashion industry, but ADA Alexandra Cooper is becoming more whiny and reckless by the minute. She hates that everyone is trying to keep her out of a case but she is on leave following the ordeal she went through, it's common sense she shouldn't be on the case. Annoying. Rating: 3/5

Back to work and enjoying some soup today. TBH, I am just not getting into my book 🙁

Mexican food and a book-life is good!

Cliffhanger!! Can't believe I have to Walt for the next book to find out what happens😭⚡️😲

Least favorite of her books. Plot was slow moving and for those not following the fashion industry, boring and hard to follow. Characters were flat in this novel

One down,ten more to go. And that's just from today's #bookmailmonday. I love Fairsteins Alex Cooper series, it started to get a bit wobbly a couple of books back,but the relationships between Alex, Mike Chapman & Mercer Wallace kept me coming back for more. Plus the fact the author was originally a DA in the Manhattan sex crimes unit,gives the books a sense of authenticity as well. A solid crime novel about the death of a fashion designer in NY.
